Alcoholism and Other Chemical Substance Dependency (15 hours, required). While the above human sexuality, child abuse, spousal/partner abuse and aging/long-term care courses can be taken from sponsors approved by the American Psychological Association (APA), such as our courses at the Zur Institute, the alcoholism/chemical dependency course must be taken at an accredited or approved educational institution or at an extension course offered by such an institution.

Complementary &amp Alternative
Medicine (CAM)

29 CE Credit Hours - $174.00

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has been used for thousands of years. In fact, it has been the main course of treatment for most of human evolution. It generally involves the treatment of mental conditions and mental disorders via nutrition (diet & supplements), exercise, meditation and other mindfulness practices, life-style adjustment, animal assisted therapies, etc. CAM is often practiced along side of or in addition to allopathic or conventional Western medicine. Historically speaking, when allopathic Western medicine became standard in the developed world, practices such as nutrition and mindfulness became "alternative."

TeleMental Health &
Digital Ethics

26 CE Credit Hours - $162.00

These courses are designed to bring the practitioner up to speed on current laws, regulations, resources, and best practices. Before embarking on a social media marketing campaign, texting with clients, using Skype to video-conference with clients, incorporating apps into the psychotherapy practice, or conducting online therapy, we highly recommend taking the courses in this certificate.

Jungian Psychotherapy

33 CE Credit Hours - $199.00

Jungian psychotherapy has a fascinating history and broad, infinitely interesting applications. Dream and shadow work can help "hardened" convicts learn and grow, the archetypes depicted in tarot decks have use in the field of marketing, and tough high-school dropouts can come back to life with drumming in the wilderness. The Jungian psychotherapists and authors whom Dr. David Van Nuys interviews in these courses work in a wide variety of areas. Some are also shamans, prison therapists, musicians, marketers, and more.

Trauma, PTSD &
Traumatic Brain Injury

30-36-66 CE Credit Hours - $180/$216/$330

Therapists whose understanding of traumatic experience and treatment is confined to therapies such as EMDR and Exposure CBT are often operating from a severely limited perspective. These courses are designed to bring therapists up to speed in understanding the complex causes, manifestations and treatments required to adequately assess and treat victims of trauma with both acute and prolonged traumatic symptoms. Therapists will learn the neurobiology of trauma, which is essential to understanding traumatic memories, how and why they are recalled, and how trauma affects emotional regulation and relationships. They will also learn how to distinguish between trauma and traumatic brain injuries, such as severe concussive shock from mortars, grenades and football. Because today's therapists should not limit their treatment to resolving trauma but helping clients to grow stronger than before, the certificate program will also cover the latest and perhaps most important area of trauma treatment--post-traumatic growth.

Addiction: Substance to
Internet

48 CE Credit Hours - $240.00

No other disorder or condition cuts across so many domains and is connected with other disorders as addiction, abuse or over use with its multiple facets, forms and manifestations.

Positive Psychology

39 CE Credit Hours - $234.00

Positive psychology is a relatively new branch of psychology that studies and teaches the strengths and virtues that allow people and communities to thrive.
